O.K., had a few things I could finalize. Created two war files,
"demoJavaScript.war" and
"demoRhino.war". The first got tested against Nashorn, the second - you
guessed it ;) - against
Rhino (7.1.13). They are meant as little proof-of-concepts that should help
you to get up and
running with them.
Please note that the libraries are beta, though appear to be stable. Yet,
there may be
errors/problems in them or there may be changes coming up.
If you have feedback of any sorts, please come forward (stability,
usability, performance,
resources, etc.).
Basically you just need to go to [1] and get the two war-files (copy to
$CATALINA_HOME/webapps) plus
either javax.ScriptTagLibs.jar (for Tomcat 9 or earlier) or
jakarta.ScriptTagLibs.jar (for Tomcat
10) which you should copy to the shared directory at $CATALINA_HOME/lib and
restart Tomcat to get
them recognized. If you want to test with Rhino you should follow the
directions at [1] and copy the
mentioned two rhino jar files to the shared library directory as well.
In general you should take the time and look over that page at [1], I tried
to remain as brief as
possible. :)
Also please do not forget that the target audience of [1] has been so far
the Rexx community and my
BA students who learned programming using ooRexx in a semester and with
that knowledge should now
become able to create little web sites for their own purposes and maybe
with some experience for
small businesses/organizations given the information at [1] as a starting
point.
Of course, if there are any questions please do not hesitate and please ask
them!
